About Me

Remember that this week. You have never lived the seven days in front of you, and you will never live them again. Life is like a coin. Spend it any way you want to, but you can spend it only once. Taken from Day by Day by Charles R. Swindoll

I am a Leeds lass now living in Brum.
In this blog I will talk about my beliefs (Christian) and my walk with God; and about the other loves in my life hubby, reading, knitting & stitching & all things craft, wine & cooking as long as it’s Gluten-Free as I’m a Coeliac.

You know how it is you come back from holiday and you think to yourself well what have we got to eat? This was the dilemma I had this morning. Knowing that there wouldn’t be much fresh stuff in the supermarkets I decided to delve deep into the back of the cupboards to see what I could find.

What I found was remnants of last year’s Christmas Hamper! This included the following “need to eat to save it’s life” a tin of peaches, a tin of custard and a tin of evaporated milk. I’m not a fan of evaporated milk so I decided to see what recipes I could find to make a dessert. I came across this which I thought sounded nice. I had to go to the supermarket to get milk anyway for my coffee and I added eggs to the list.

So later on I dug out one of my trifle bowls and got to work. I drained off the juice from the peaches and placed in the bowl. I used the evaporated milk to make up the sauce (see link above) and placed on top of the peaches. Next I opened the custard and poured that on top, plus spirnkles to make it pretty!
